Curious.

Not work emails, just ones to your personal mail, including junk

Got about 30 today.

The problem is many do require a response from me.

In the 50-100 range.  I have a great assistant who lets me know which ones I should read.

I am getting bombed with ads in my gmail promotions folder.

BTW, does anyone know how to direct emails from a certain sender from promotions to the main folder?  I'm worried about missing work emails.

8 in my inbox less than a day old. No idea how many my spam folder grabbed.

40 or so. 10 from people I actually know, the rest from automated things like LinkedIn.  I get very little actual spam.

22,786 in my inbox, but some of those date back to 2002.

I've also probably deleted a fair few others on top of that. :P

Just a handful on my personal accounts.

Anywhere from 20 to 60 on my job one, depending on the day.

On my personal account less than 10. I do actively unsubscribe from most regular mails.

Less than 10 on my personal accounts, on average.  I direct interesting newsletter and sweepstakes to my corporate account, so it's skewed toward the bottom because of this.  If you ask "how many relevant e-mails" do I receive in one day, than it's between 1 and 2 on average.

26-50 on my personal emails, but that includes a lot of Navy emails plus all the junky stuff that is not really spam. The work email varies but it can sometimes be around the same (I mostly ignore/delete what does not apply to me).

Personal mail? Close to zero. All my personal stuff is done through instant messaging nowadays.

Around 10-25 daily work emails, I don't bother checking my junk folders so I don't know about those.
